Andrew is arrested and held in custody on his birthday after dramatic police raid on his home at Sandringham amid probe into Epstein files

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has today been arrested on his 66th birthday and is in custody after a raid on his new Sandringham home.

Thames Valley Police held the eighth in line to the British throne on suspicion of misconduct in public office this morning.

The Daily Mail was the first to reveal plain-clothes police, carried in six unmarked vehicles, had arrived at Wood Farm, where Andrew now lives, at 8am this morning. 

A convoy including at least two royal Land Rovers linked to Andrew was photographed leaving the estate less than an hour later. His arrest was confirmed at 10.08am.

For the past ten days, detectives have been probing his conduct as a trade envoy for the UK after emails in the Epstein Files suggested he shared confidential information with his paedophile friend, including reports of his official visits and potential investment opportunities.

A Thames Valley spokesman said today: ‘We have today arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office’.

The force said its officers are searching an address in Norfolk – believed to be Wood Farm, where Andrew is exiled – and an address in Berkshire, likely to be Royal Lodge in Windsor, where he lived for more than 20 years until this month.

‘The man remains in police custody at this time’, the spokesman said – but the force would not confirm where Andrew, who is celebrating his birthday today, had been taken. 

Norfolk Police said it is ‘supporting’ the Thames Valley investigation but did not say if one of its stations was being used by detectives to interview Andrew.

Thames Valley Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said: ‘Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office.

‘It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offence.

‘We understand the significant public interest in this case, and we will provide updates at the appropriate time.’

How DID Beatrice afford her 20s jet-set lifestyle? Princess went on 17 holidays a year while earning £19,500 – now a royal expert says questions must be asked about how her jaunts were funded amid Epstein revelations

Before she settled into life as a married mother-of-two, Princess Beatrice was known for her constant luxury holidays, and now questions are being asked about who paid the bills for the jet-setting lifestyle that defined her 20s.

The eldest daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, now 37, juggles her duties as a royal with her job as chief executive of BY-EQ – the tech advisory firm she founded in 2022 – and motherhood.

But a decade ago, Beatrice – caught in the crossfire between the Epstein Files and her parents’ association with the paedophile – was known for taking lavish holidays worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

In 2015, Beatrice booked time off for 17 holidays as she hit the slopes in Verbier, partied in St Tropez and Ibiza, and lounged on yachts with some of the world’s most rich and famous.

While her endless holidaying drew scrutiny at the time, questions of how Beatrice could afford these trips were largely left unanswered.

‘Her salary at Sony at the time was £19,500, which would not go far, while her lifestyle was obviously ridiculously excessive,’ said royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.

‘It now seems clear that their father’s dodgy business deals when Special Trade Envoy and their mother’s alleged financial dependence on Jeffrey Epstein, could have been pivotal to her life of luxury,’ he added.

‘Beatrice was able to live it up,’ Mr Fitzwilliams said, ‘but now we wonder at whose expense?’

Epstein Flipped Israel’s Gaza-Tested Biometric Scanners Into Nigeria Ports Deal for UAE

The year before Jeffrey Epstein’s suspicious death in a Manhattan jail, the financier was working to broker an infrastructure deal for Emirati logistics conglomerate DP World in Nigeria, according to a massive trove of emails released by the Justice Department last month.

In an email exchange from the summer of 2018, Epstein facilitated talks between then-chair of Nigeria’s sovereign investment fund, Jide Zeitlin, and DP World’s ex-chairman, Sultan Ahmad bin Sulayem, on possible shipping terminals in Lagos and Badagry. Sulayem resigned from DP World on February 13, 2026 amid fallout from the revelation of his intimate friendship with Epstein.

DP World’s leadership was reluctant to invest in an industrial zone in Nigeria unless they could own the surrounding port outright, and talks with previous Nigerian presidents, since 2005, had led nowhere. Zeitlin informed Sulayem that he was close to then-President Muhammadu Buhari and billionaire shipping magnate Gabriele Volpi—the owner of Intels, Nigeria’s largest logistics company, which services the country’s massive oil & gas sector. Epstein, in turn, offered to involve Kathryn Ruemmler, former White House counsel under President Barack Obama. Ruemmler recently announced her resignation as chief legal officer of Goldman Sachs.

Sulayem and Epstein worked together for more than a decade, cultivating a friendship between Israel and the United Arab Emirates long before the Abraham Accords agreement in 2020. Zeitlin wrote to Epstein in September 2018, after Djibouti nationalized DP World’s main hub in East Africa, “I hope your pal’s sojourn in Tel Aviv … was more effective than his efforts on the African continent.” After Epstein’s death, DP World acquired a controlling stake in a Nigerian logistics provider in 2022 and began expanding its footprint in Lagos as of last year.

Jeffrey Epstein Recruited NSA Codebreakers for Genome “Manhattan Project”

In the decade before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the U.S. and Russia were engaged in high-stakes exchanges of advanced technology involving the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Skolkovo Innovation Center—a Russian government-backed technology hub that aimed to jump-start a “venture” innovation ecosystem in Moscow.

Jeffrey Epstein sat at the crossroads of academia, philanthropy, and venture finance as these global capital flows were threatened by the brewing confrontation in Ukraine.

In 2013, during the early cryptocurrency boom, Epstein sought an audience with Vladimir Putin to encourage the Russian president to shift course from the MIT–Skolkovo model. Instead of playing “catch up” with the United States through venture-backed startups, Epstein proposed, Russia could help lead a new financial system based on a novel global currency.

Epstein funded the early development of cryptocurrency through the MIT Digital Currency Initiative, founded in 2015. MIT’s Bitcoin Core Development Fund helped pay bitcoin’s early developers to maintain the open-source software authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, bitcoin’s anonymous inventor. Epstein was an early investor in Coinbase, and he was friends with Brock Pierce, the co-founder of U.S. dollar stablecoin company Tether, which operates, in effect, the world’s largest crypto bank.

Epstein was also recruiting cryptographers to a more ambitious project: hacking the human genome. In an email to a redacted recipient in August 2012, Epstein wrote, “My biology gurus at harvard all agree that the signal intelligence used by the various agencies , could be put to work on breaking the dna code or protein signal problems. breaking foreign codes is the expertise of the us and nsa.” Epstein prompted the recipient to help him recruit “code breakers” from the various intelligence agencies: “it would be great to know which agency button to push.”

New Mexico Lawmakers FINALLY Launch Probe Into Epstein’s Zorro Ranch Amid GRUESOME Burial Claims

New revelations have the potential to expose the depths of Jeffrey Epstein’s depravity at his remote New Mexico ranch, where fresh claims suggest victims may have been killed and buried on the grounds.

The investigation kicked off after explosive allegations surfaced in an email claiming two foreign girls were strangled during “rough, fetish s*x” and buried in the hills outside Epstein’s Zorro Ranch on orders from Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, referred to as “Madam G” in the correspondance.

New Mexico Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard, horrified by the potential involvement of state land in these atrocities, pushed for the probe. “I’m horrified when I learned something new, especially when I learned that state land could have been used, could have been involved in some of these monstrous activities,” she said.

The bipartisan “truth commission” established by New Mexico’s House of Representatives will scrutinize past activities at the 7,600-acre property, including whether local authorities turned a blind eye while Epstein operated his trafficking ring.

Epstein bought the ranch in 1993 from former Democratic Gov. Bruce King, transforming it into a sprawling compound complete with a 26,700-square-foot mansion, private airstrip, and helipad—perfect for flying in victims undetected.

Hillary Clinton Caught in a HUGE Lie as She Breaks Her Silence Regarding Her and Bill’s Ties to Jeffrey Epstein

Crooked Hillary Clinton has broken her silence over her and Bill’s connection to infamous p*dophile Jeffrey Epstein. Unfortunately, her statement was nothing but a huge lie.

During an interview with the BBC this week, the interviewer Jess Parker asked Hillary about the Clintons’ links to Epstein. Hillary immediately went on the defensive, scoffing at the idea that there were any connections to their former political ally.

Hillary claimed that Bill had just done a few charitable flights with Epstein as part of the Clinton Global Initiative, while she claimed she had never met the man.

Hillary did, however, admit to meeting Epstein’s procurer, Ghislaine Maxwell, “a few” times.

CLINTON: We have no links. We have a very clear record we’ve been willing to talk about.

My husband has said he took some rides on the airplane for his charitable work. I don’t recall ever meeting him.

PARKER: Did you ever meet Ghislaine Maxwell?

CLINTON: I did on a few occasions. And thousands of people go to the Clinton Global Initiative.

To me, it’s not something that is really at the heart of what this matter is about.

Hillary also falsely accused Trump of orchestrating a cover-up regarding the Epstein files, and said his administration was “slow-walking” the release.

“Get the files out. They are slow-walking it,” she said.

The only person trying to engage in a cover-up is Hillary, and it’s regarding Bill’s DEEP ties to Epstein.

EPSTEIN FILES FALLOUT: UK Police ‘Assessing Information’ on Stansted Airport, Suspected To Have Been Used for Sex Trafficking Young Women Into Britain

Sex traffickers’ entry gate?

The UK is reeling over the allegations that the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring would have used Stansted airport with impunity, trafficking women into Britain.

The issue has even been taken up by a former Prime Minister who is calling for a full investigation.

By now, Essex Police has said it is ‘assessing information’ about private flights coming and going from Stansted Airport, after it was featured in the US DOJ’s Epstein files.

This ‘assessing information’ ruse may well mean that the whole business will be quashed.

BBC reported:

“Last year a BBC investigation found 87 flights linked to the convicted sex offender had arrived at or departed from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.

Ex-Prime Minister Gordon Brown wrote in the New Statesman last week that police ‘urgently’ need to re-examine whether Jeffrey Epstein’s victims were trafficked within and outside of the UK.”

Whoopi Goldberg Finally Acknowledges That Her Name is in the Epstein Files – Downplays it as Nothing

A few weeks ago, the news broke that Whoopi Goldberg’s name appears in the Epstein files. Today on The View, they finally addressed this.

Of course, after harping on the Epstein files and Trump for months, the hosts of The View are completely downplaying the relevance of Whoopi’s name being in the files. Suddenly, it’s no big deal. Suddenly, anyone’s name can appear in these files.

It’s amazing how these hypocrites can shift like this because it’s one of them.

From NewsBusters:

Goldberg proceeded to read the contents of the request. Co-host Sunny Hostin immediately brushed off the request by pointing out that Jeffery Epstein rejected it:

GOLDBERG: My is in the files. Yes. And what does it say? It says, ‘Whoopi needs a plane to get to Monaco. John Lennon’s charity’ — it should say ‘Julian Lennon’s charity is paying for it. They don’t want to charter so they looking for private owners. Here’s the info.’ And they give all the information, and they’re saying, ‘do you want to offer your GII?’ Okay.

HOSTIN: It looks like they said ‘no thanks.’

“In other words, anybody can be on this list,” co-host Joy Behar dismissed the facts, before trying to whatabout her way back to Trump: “But Trump is on the list 38,000 times. Come on!”

Goldberg proceeded to kvetch about media outlets like NewsBusters drawing attention to the e-mail:

GOLDBERG: Well, this is my point. Because, I’m telling you when I tell you people are trying to turn me into — I wasn’t his girlfriend. I wasn’t his friend.

SARA HAINES: You were too old for him.

GOLDBERG: I was not only too old but it was at a time, you know, where this is just not – you used to have to have facts before you said stuff.

BEHAR: But Trump is on the list 38,000 times. Come on!

GOLDBERG: Well, I can’t speak to him but I’m speaking about me because I’m getting dragged. People actually believe that I was with him. It’s like, honey, come on.

Hillary Clinton Laughs After She’s Asked About Salacious Photo of Bill Clinton in a Hot Tub with Alleged Epstein Sex-Trafficking Victim

Hillary Clinton laughed after she was confronted about the salacious photo of her husband Bill Clinton in a hot tub with an Epstein sex-trafficking victim.

The Justice Department in December released a new batch of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking cases.

The trove of documents was released after a federal judge in New York recently ordered the release of Jeffrey Epstein documents related to a 2019 sex trafficking case.

President Trump recently signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

The documents were released on the DOJ’s website in the “Epstein Library.”

The new trove of documents includes never-before-seen photos of Bill Clinton in a hot tub, swimming with a mystery woman.

The individual’s face was redacted which means she is either a sex-trafficking victim and or a minor.

Allegations in Epstein files may amount to ‘crimes against humanity,’ UN experts say

Millions of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a “global criminal enterprise” that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, according to a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council.

The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the U.S. Justice Department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny.

The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanization of women and girls.

“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” the experts said in a statement.

The experts said the allegations contained in the files require an independent, thorough and impartial investigation, and said inquiries should also be launched into how it was possible for such crimes to be committed for so long.

The U.S. Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A law, approved by Congress with broad bipartisan support in November, requires all Epstein-related files to be made public.

The U.N. experts raised concerns about “serious compliance failures and botched redactions” that exposed sensitive victim information. More than 1,200 victims were identified in the documents that have been released so far.

“The reluctance to fully disclose information or broaden investigations, has left many survivors feeling retraumatized and subjected to what they describe as ‘institutional gaslighting,'” the experts said.

The Justice Department’s release of documents has revealed Epstein’s ties to many prominent people in politics, finance, academia and business – both before and after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to prostitution charges, including soliciting an underage girl.
